Luka Dončić recorded a 40-point triple-double and LeBron James contributed 28 points as the Lakers limited turnovers to just seven, aiding their 143-135 win over Utah.
- On Thursday, Luka Doncic produced a stat line reached by only one other player in NBA history in the Los Angeles Lakers' 143-135 win, saying, `I think, honestly, I could do so much more.`
- With controlled turnovers, the Lakers had Doncic and LeBron James combine for 24 assists and just three turnovers despite missing Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton.

- The win moved L.A. to 19-7, the third-best start through 26 games in LeBron James' eight Lakers seasons, and improved the Los Angeles Lakers to 10-0 in clutch-situation games after dodging Utah Jazz.
- A collision with Walter Clayton Jr. left LeBron James on the floor and raised fears due to a prior MCL sprain; James described it as `Just a little bolt to the knee, like a sharp pain to the knee`.
